He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 435

With Gunnar personally overseeing the operation, Corinne, Gwen, Melanie, Sylvia, and even Yardley were all escorted to the precinct for questioning.

Although Yardley was eventually released on bail, the explosive news of the Flynn family being practically dismantled in one night dominated the next morning's headlines. Major media outlets ran terrifying front-page stories on the scandal.

The Flynn family was completely ruined, becoming the ultimate laughingstock of Bay City and the entire national business community.

Meanwhile, the authorities launched a massive probe into the charity's black-hole accounting, and rumors that the Flynn Group was involved in money laundering and embezzlement spread like wildfire.

The Flynn Group's stock plummeted overnight. Billions in market value evaporated into thin air, and the company's internal operations devolved into absolute chaos.

-

Inside the Flynn Group's executive boardroom.

The atmosphere was suffocating. The board members were furious, their angry curses filling the room.

Yardley sat near the head of the table, his face a sickly shade of grey. The elite reputation and flawless track record he had spent years building as the head of the company had been incinerated in a single night.

Franklin Flynn had been forced to rush down from Sterling City on a red-eye flight to take control of the situation. The moment he walked into the boardroom, he was ambushed by the furious shareholders.

"Mr. Chairman, call for a vote! We are collectively demanding Yardley be removed from his position as CEO!"

"Exactly! His constant family scandals are severely disrupting operations, and now he's tied up in a criminal investigation! We cannot trust him with our livelihoods!"

"Mr. Chairman! He has to step down. If he doesn't, I will aggressively demand to withdraw my shares, and I will sue the Flynn Group for my financial losses!"

One by one, the board members voiced their outrage, pressuring Franklin to make a decision.

Their trust in Yardley had gone from one hundred percent to negative zero.

Those who had secretly disliked Yardley for years were thrilled, eagerly using this disaster to oust him and replace him with someone more competent.

Franklin remained silent, shooting Yardley a lethal glare. He looked incredibly pale.

For years, he had poured endless resources into grooming Yardley, and until now, Yardley's business acumen had been stellar.
